I'd inspect that thing like a hawk with tunes and lifted...that things been rode hard and I'm sure them pistons are blue!! Ask him the basics service records tranny fluid changes if tcase is original( these are known for pump rub) look over the front end ball joints etc original injectors and see if it has a fuel filter upgrade ....the usual stuff make sure coolant doesn't bubble in resovoir and that there is no diesel fuel in the oil.
